product. If you purchased this product from a third party and would like further
information concerning this topic, contact your Beckman Coulter Representative.
Safety Notices
Before installing, using, or maintaining the instrument, be certain that you know all the following
precautions.
Installation
CAUTION
This instrument is designed to be installed by your Beckman Coulter
Representative. Installation by anyone other than authorized Beckman Coulter
personnel invalidates any warranty covering the instrument. Also, should the
instrument need to be moved, your Beckman Coulter Representative must
reinstall and re-level the instrument in its new location.
WARNING
Do not place the centrifuge near areas containing flammable or combustible
fluids, or any other source of vapors that could enter the centrifuge air system and
be ignited by the motor.
WARNING
Risk of operator injury. High performance centrifuge operations generate high
energy levels that require precautions against sudden movements that could
result from the rare event of a rotor failure. Maintain a 30-cm (1-ft) clearance
envelope around and above the centrifuge. Do not install any equipment or
furniture in this envelope. While the centrifuge is running, keep the envelope clear
of any persons or objects and do not reach into the envelope except when required
to change operating controls.
Replacement Parts
CAUTION
Risk of rotor mishap and/or improper instrument function. Do not replace any
centrifuge components with parts not specified for use on this instrument.

Service
WARNING
Any servicing of this equipment that requires removal of any covers can expose
parts which involve the risk of electric shock or personal injury. Make sure that the
power switch is turned off, and the instrument is disconnected from the main
power source, by removing its power plug from the receptacle. Refer such
servicing to qualified personnel.
NOTE It is your responsibility to decontaminate the instrument and accessories before requesting service by
your Beckman Coulter Representative.
Power Supply
DANGER
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this instrument uses a three-wire electrical
cord and plug to connect this equipment to earth-ground. Make sure that the
matching wall outlet receptacle is properly wired and earth-grounded.

Mechanical Safety
DANGER
For safe operation of the equipment, observe the following:
• Use only the Beckman Coulter rotors and accessories designed for use in this
instrument.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated speed of the rotor in use.
• NEVER attempt to slow or stop a rotor by hand.
• Do not move the centrifuge while the drive motor is spinning.
• NEVER attempt to override the door interlock system.
• Do not lean on the centrifuge or place items on it while it is operating.
• In the event of a power failure, do not attempt to retrieve the sample from the
instrument until the rotor has come to a complete stop. The time required for
a rotor to come to a complete stop can vary from 1 to 9 hours depending upon
the set speed while in operation and the rotor’s mass. Then follow the
instructions for recovery of the sample in the Maintenance and
Troubleshooting chapter.
Chemical and Biological Safety
DANGER
Normal operation may involve the use of solutions and test samples that are
pathogenic, toxic, or radioactive. Such materials require that you take all
necessary safety precautions.
• Handle body fluids with care because they can transmit disease. No known
test offers complete assurance that they are free of micro-organisms.
• Handle all infectious samples according to good laboratory procedures and
methods to prevent spread of disease.
• Because spills may generate aerosols, observe proper safety precautions for
aerosol containment.
• Some of the most virulent infectious agents — Hepatitis (B and C) and HIV (I-V)
viruses, atypical mycobacteria, and certain systemic fungi — require
additional emphasis on aerosol protection.
• Do not run toxic, pathogenic, or radioactive materials in a rotor without taking
appropriate safety precautions.
• Risk Group II materials (as identified in the World Health Organization
Laboratory Biosafety Manual) require biosafe containment. Materials of a
higher group require more than one level of protection.
• Dispose of all waste solutions according to appropriate environmental health
and safety guidelines.

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
This Avanti JXN series centrifuge is intended for use as a general purpose laboratory instrument for
the separation of components through the use of relative centrifugal force. Applications may be
clinical in nature, including the separation of human samples (such as blood, urine, and other bodily
fluids), either alone or after the addition of reagents or other additives; or non-clinical, such as the
separation of non-human bodily samples, chemicals, industrial or environmental samples.
This centrifuge should be operated by qualified professionals only.

Description
Centrifuge Function
Centrifuge Function
The Avanti JXN series is a refrigerated centrifuge that generates centrifugal forces required for a
wide variety of applications. Together with the Beckman Coulter rotors designed for use in this
centrifuge, applications include:
• Routine processing such as sample preparations, pelleting, extractions, purifications,
concentrations, phase separations, and spin column and spin filter centrifugations.
• Rapid sedimentation of protein precipitates, large particles, and cell debris.
• Preparation of subcellular organelles such as mitochondria, nuclei, chloroplasts, and crude
microsomes.
• Separation of blood cells and cellular components.
• Pelleting of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
• Gradient separation, for example, Ficoll-Hypaque and Percoll.
• Nucleic acid precipitation.
• Virus isolation.
• Bacteriophage isolation.
The Avanti JXN series centrifuge design features a brushless switched-reluctance drive motor*, an
automatic rotor identification system, FRS (friction reduction system), vacuum control circuitry,
temperature control system, and programmable acceleration and deceleration times.
Touch Screen
The touch screen is both the information display and the control input for the instrument. As they
are needed, control buttons appear on the screen. When you select a button, you activate that
control.
Each component of the touch screen interface is explained in the following chapters.
Name Rating Plate
A name rating plate is affixed to the rear of the instrument. Always mention the serial number and
model number (available on the About Page) when contacting Beckman Coulter regarding your
instrument.
* Manufactured under license from Switched Reluctance Drives Limited, Harrogate, U.K.

Description
Housing and Door
Housing and Door
The instrument control housing, door assembly, and cover panels are made from a highly-durable
plastic.
The door is opened by stepping on a foot pedal, which is located at the bottom right front of the
instrument. The door is hinged at the back left to open at a 60-degree angle to the centrifuge side
panels, providing clearance for loading and unloading of the centrifuge.
In the event of a power failure, the door can be manually unlocked for sample recovery (see
Accessing the Rotor in Case of Power Failure in CHAPTER 7, Maintenance and Troubleshooting).
Rotor Chamber
The rotor chamber is made of stainless steel to resist corrosion. A rubber gasket around the
chamber opening ensures sealing.
NOTE Instrument gaskets have not been qualified as bioseals for aerosol containment.
Friction Reduction System (FRS)
The friction reduction system (FRS) uses a mechanical rotary vane vacuum pump to reduce
chamber pressure. The pump turns on after the run is started, before rotor friction reaches a high
level. When the required vacuum level is reached, the pump turns off. Vacuum in the chamber is
vented during rotor deceleration.
Drive
The drive spindle is directly driven by a brushless, high-torque, switched-reluctance motor. The
instrument’s resilient suspension minimizes disturbance of the sample during acceleration and
deceleration, and reduces damage to the drive spindle if an imbalance occurs during centrifugation.
Temperature Sensing and Control
The temperature control system is cooled by circulation of a non-CFC-based refrigerant. A
thermistor in the rotor chamber continuously monitors the chamber temperature. The system
calculates the chamber temperature required to maintain the set temperature. Although the
chamber temperature fluctuates during operation, the rotor’s large mass keeps the sample
temperature substantially constant. At the end of a run, the system continues controlling the
temperature to prevent freezing or overheating of the sample.

Description
Overtemp System
Overtemp System
An overtemp (over temperature) system provides flexibility, sample protection, and safety for the
user.
• The maximum allowable deviation above the Set Temperature is configured by the user. The
default setting is 4°C.
• For each run the user sets the desired run temperature.
• If the system is configured to shutdown when the set temperature is exceeded, the system shuts
down using maximum brake when the actual temperature exceeds the set temperature by the
overtemp setting.
• To protect the instrument hardware, the system shuts down when the over temperature is
reached. The shutdown cannot be disabled by the user. The system shuts down using maximum
brake when its over temperature shutdown point is exceeded. For a listing of the specified
temperature for each instrument, see Specifications.
Safety Features
Avanti JXN series centrifuges have been designed and tested to operate safely indoors at altitudes
up to 2000 m (6562 ft). Safety features include the following:
• An electromechanical door lock system prevents operator contact with spinning rotors and
prevents run initiation unless the door is closed and locked. The door locks when START is
pressed, or when the POWER switch is turned off. The exception to this is ZONAL mode, in which
open-door operation up to 3000 RPM is allowed.
• A steel casing surrounds the rotor chamber to provide operator protection in the unlikely event
of a rotor mishap.
• Dynamic Rotor Inertia Check (DRIC): As the rotor accelerates, rotor inertia is measured and the
rotor energy is calculated for the speed set by the user. If the calculated rotor energy is
determined to be excessive, the instrument will stop the run and issue a diagnostic message.
• An imbalance detector monitors the system during operation, causing automatic shutdown if
rotor loads are severely out of balance.

NOTE When the run begins, wait for the countdown timer to reach zero and the rotor to come to a stop.
You can then remove your rotor and samples.
Zonal and Continuous Flow Operation
WARNING
Risk of operator injury. In zonal and continuous flow operation, the operator is
unavoidably exposed to rotating machinery. For safety, the operator must be
properly instructed and qualified. Guard against accidentally dropping objects,
such as pens, pencils, or hemostats into the chamber. Loose lab coats, neckties,
scarves, and long necklaces should not be worn while operating in the zonal or
continuous flow mode.
Use only zonal/continuous flow rotors in the Zonal mode.
Zonal and Continuous Flow operations require special rotors and have some additional hazards in
that samples are loaded and unloaded while the rotor is spinning. To prevent unauthorized users
from attempting these operations, the instrument requires an authorization code (which is 1793).
When Zonal operations are authorized, the system displays the Zonal Operation Page. While in Zonal
operation, the Home Page button displays the Zonal Operation page. The mode does not end until
the run is complete or the user selects the Cancel Button to end the mode.

Operations
Zonal and Continuous Flow Operation
Zonal and Continuous Flow operations are very similar. The specific details vary according to the
rotor you are using, but the summary below shows an outline of the procedure.
Figure 3.10 Zonal Page
There are seven phases to a Zonal or Continuous Flow run:
• Preparing
• Starting
• Loading
• Running
• Unloading
• Stopping
• Finishing
Each phase is outlined in a section below.
Preparing for the Run
The rotor manual details the preparations for a run, which may include cleaning, assembling, and
lubricating the rotor, setting up pumps and tubing, and usually includes overnight cooling to
precondition the rotor, sample and solutions used in the run. When you are ready to install the
rotor, set the parameters for the run:
• Run Speed
• Run Time
• Temperature
• Load Speed
• Unload Speed
3-10
PN B38322AB
Operations
Zonal and Continuous Flow Operation
For Continuous Flow operation, you may have two different load speed settings. The initial setting
is for alignment and adjustment checks, which you set in this phase.
When everything else is ready, mount the rotor.
Starting the Run
To start the run, select the Start Button and wait for the rotor to reach loading speed. The status
display at the top of the screen highlights Starting.
For a Continuous Flow run, you need to perform alignment and adjustment checks as detailed in the
rotor manual. You may need to use the Slow to Zero RPM button to make adjustments and restart
with the Start Button. Using the Slow to Zero RPM button will bring the rotor to a stop, but the
instrument will remain in Zonal mode. Refer to Figure 3.11. When the rotor passes the alignment
and adjustment checks, set the new loading speed (if it is different from the adjustment speed) and
select the Start Button again.
Figure 3.11 Zonal Page
When the rotor reaches the Loading speed, the status display highlights Loading, to show that you
have moved into the next phase.
Loading the Sample
In the Loading phase, you inject the sample into the medium in the rotor. Again, the details depend
on the rotor and the type of operation as detailed in the rotor manual. When you have finished all
the specified loading steps, close the door and select the To Running button to go to the next phase.
NOTE While operating in Zonal mode, open-door operation up to 3000 RPM is allowed, but only during the
Loading and Unloading steps.
PN B38322AB

Operations
Zonal and Continuous Flow Operation
Running the Sample
The instrument highlights Running on the Status Display, accelerates to the set run speed, and
begins counting down the set run time. The run phase ends in one of three ways:
• When the timer countdown reaches zero, the instrument decelerates to the unloading speed
and goes to the Unloading phase.
• If you select the To Unloading Button to terminate the run early, the instrument decelerates to
the unloading speed and goes to the Unloading phase.
• If you select the Stop Button to abort the run, the instrument brings the rotor to a halt, skips
the unloading phase, and exits Zonal mode entirely.
If you need to return to the Loading phase to open the door while the rotor is spinning, press the To
Loading button and the instrument will slow the rotor to the Load Speed. The instrument will
remain in the Loading phase until you select the To Running button to return to the Running phase
or terminate the run.
Unloading the Sample
While the rotor is running at unload speed, follow the instructions in the rotor manual to inject the
displacement solution into the rotor and collect the resulting centrifugate sample.
If you need to return to the Running phase for any reason, press the To Running button and the
instrument will accelerate the rotor to the Run Speed. The instrument will remain in the Running
phase until it is ended in one of the ways discussed in Running the Sample.
Stopping the Run
When you have completed all the defined unloading steps, select the Stop Button to bring the rotor
to a halt.
Finishing the Run
When the rotor comes to a halt, unmount it and perform all the cleanup and follow-up steps given
in the rotor manual. The instrument exits Zonal mode when the rotor comes to a stop.

• Use Deceleration to select a numbered deceleration value.
• The Cancel button discards your changes and dismisses the page.
• The OK button accepts your changes and dismisses the page.
The acceleration values are the degree of reduction from the maximum value. The acceleration
value of zero is the maximum (no reduction). The acceleration value of 10 is the slowest (maximum
reduction). The same applies to the deceleration values. The value 11 is an absolute reduction,
eliminating all braking and allowing the rotor to coast to a stop.
Slower (numerically higher) acceleration and deceleration values minimize sample-to-gradient
interface disturbance. Each acceleration profile has a designated time that it takes to reach a
specified speed. After that, it uses maximum acceleration to reach run speed. For a deceleration
profile, the instrument uses maximum deceleration until it reaches the specified speed, then takes
the designated time to slow to a stop.

disturbance.
Timed deceleration
Full brake from set speed to 500 RPM. From 500 to 0 RPM,
deceleration time can be set from 1 to 10 minutes.
Coast
No brake is used. Rotor coasts from set speed to 0 RPM. The time
required for a rotor to come to a complete stop can vary from 1 to

Accessing the Rotor in Case of Power Failure
WARNING
Any maintenance procedure requiring removal of a panel exposes the operator to
the possibility of electrical shock and/or mechanical injury. Therefore, turn the
power off (O) and disconnect the instrument from the main power source by
removing the Mains (power) plug from the outlet receptacle, and refer such
maintenance to qualified service personnel.
WARNING
Before performing this procedure, verify that the rotor is not spinning by listening
carefully for any noise coming from the chamber. Proceed only if the instrument
is quiet. Never attempt to override the door interlock system while the rotor is
spinning.
If the facility power fails only momentarily, the centrifuge will resume operation when the power
is restored and the rotor will return to the set speed. In the event of an extended power failure,

JCF-Z Rotor Identification
3
Repeat step 2 on the right side
The second latch engages.
JCF-Z Rotor Identification
The rotor identification system can, under two specific conditions, misidentify the JCF-Z
continuous flow/zonal rotor. If the rotor is misidentified, the the run will be stopped. Follow the
steps below to resolve the issue.
NOTE Misidentification can be prevented by returning your JCF-Z rotor to the Beckman Coulter factory to
have magnets added to the rotor body. The magnets ensure correct identification. Call your local
Beckman Coulter Representative* for more information.
JCF-Z rotors manufactured after March, 1997, have factory-installed magnets.
1
On the first few uses of a new JCF-Z rotor, or in an older JCF-Z rotor with newly replaced bearings, run
the rotor from 0 to 5000 RPM and back to 0 RPM three times.
This procedure will distribute lubricant around the bearings in the rotating seal assembly,
reducing drag.
2
In older JCF-Z rotors with bearings that have not been replaced recently, follow the same procedure
as for a new JCF-Z rotor (perform three runs from 0 to 5000 RPM and back to 0 RPM) to ensure
that the bearings are properly lubricated.
If misidentification recurs after the third run, when the bearings are lubricated, this indicates
that the bearings are worn and need to be replaced.
a.
Replace the bearings following the instructions in the JCF-Z manual (JCFZ-IM).
NOTE If the JCF-Z rotor is misidentified, the run will be stopped.
Storage and Transportation
To ensure that the instrument does not get damaged, contact your Beckman Coulter Representative
for specific instructions and/or assistance in preparing the equipment for transport or long-term
storage.

Preinstallation Requirements
Preinstallation Requirements
Do not attempt to install this instrument. Its purchase price includes installation by Beckman Coulter
personnel. Installation by anyone other than an authorized Beckman Coulter Representative invalidates
any warranty covering the instrument.
Preinstallation requirements have been sent prior to shipment of the instrument. The following
information is provided in case the centrifuge must be relocated.
The centrifuge will be installed upon initial purchase by your Beckman Coulter Representative after
preinstallation requirements for power and site preparation have been met. The following
equipment is required for preinstallation:
• Voltmeter
• For single phase centrifuges: two 30-ampere circuit breakers
• For three phase centrifuges: three 16-ampere circuit breakers
• Power receptacle (see Figure A.1 or Figure A.2)
Electrical Requirements
Power to the centrifuge should originate directly from a main power line transformer at a power
source known to be clear of erratic loads, spikes, and electromagnetic interference. Make sure that
there are properly rated thermal circuit breakers at the service panel to protect the centrifuge
circuit. If fuses must be used instead of the specified circuit breakers, the fuses may require a rating
of greater than 30 amperes (for single-phase centrifuges) or greater than 16 amperes (for
three-phase centrifuges).
Terminate the open end of the harmonized cord with a certified single- or three-phase connector
suitable for the power supplied in the country of intended use (see Table A.1). Install only one
centrifuge per circuit.

To ensure optimal safety, the centrifuge should be wired to a remote emergency switch (preferably
outside the room where the centrifuge is housed, or adjacent to the exit from that room). In case of
a malfunction, the centrifuge can be disconnected from the main power source by removing the
Mains (power) plug from the outlet receptacle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment uses a three-wire or five-wire
electrical cord and plug to connect the centrifuge to earth-ground. To preserve
this safety feature, make sure that the matching wall outlet receptacle is properly
wired and earth-grounded.
Prior to instrument purchase, the power configuration should be determined and the appropriate
instrument ordered.
Single and Three-Phase Power Connections
Figure A.1 shows the power connection for single-phase centrifuges, including earth-ground and
two power leads with 30-ampere circuit breakers. Figure A.2 shows the power connection for

Additional Requirements for Three-Phase Power Connections
For three-phase power service to the centrifuge, use the “Y” connected configuration shown in
Figure A.3. Also note the following information:
• The steady state current draw of the centrifuge can be as high as 12 amperes per phase,
depending on the voltage.
• Inrush current to the centrifuge is 100 amperes for up to 2 seconds during the refrigeration
start period. Circuit breakers, whether thermal or magnetic actuating, must be a “motor start”
delay type.
• The centrifuge can tolerate a drop of 15 volts during the start period at low line voltage (see
Figure A.3 for the acceptable voltage ranges). The mains power for the centrifuge must be of
sufficient wire gauge to provide this condition. The wire gauge required at a particular site
must be determined by a facilities engineer at that site.

Space and Location Requirements
1
Locate the instrument on a clean, level floor.
• The Mains (power) plug is the disconnect device and must remain easily accessible.
• Position the centrifuge so that it is easy to remove the Mains (power) plug from the outlet
receptacle.

Select a location away from heat-producing laboratory equipment.
If ambient temperature exceeds 38°C (100°F), premature component failure may result.

In addition to space for the centrifuge, allow a 7.7-cm (3-in.) clearance on each side of the
centrifuge and a 16-cm (6.25-in.) clearance behind the centrifuge for air circulation.

Preinstallation Requirements
Using J2 Series Rotors in the Avanti JXN Series
The centrifuge must have adequate air ventilation to ensure compliance to local requirements
for vapors produced during centrifuge operation.
WARNING
Do not place the centrifuge near areas containing flammable reagents or
combustible fluids. Vapors from these materials could enter the instrument’s
air system and be ignited.
Using J2 Series Rotors in the Avanti JXN Series
CAUTION
Do not use the Beckman Coulter JA-10, JS-7.5, or JA-14 rotors in the Avanti JXN
centrifuge before reading this information.
Checking for Rotor Drive Pins
Rotors used in the Avanti JXN series centrifuges must have drive pins in the rotor drive hole (see
Figure A.4). These drive pins engage with the centrifuge spindle hub to ensure that the rotor does
not slip during acceleration. Some Beckman Coulter rotors, including the JA-10, the JS-7.5, and the
JA-14, have been manufactured without drive pins because pins were not needed when these rotors
were used in J2 series centrifuges.

The rotor pins are positioned parallel to the Beckman name engraved at the center of the rotor body
(see Figure A.4). Knowing the pin orientation before you install the rotor will help to ensure that
you position the rotor properly on the hub, minimizing the chance of hub damage.
Check all J2 series rotors for drive pins before using them in an Avanti JXN series centrifuge and do not use
rotors without drive pins in the Avanti JXN series. To check for drive pins, hold the rotor up or turn it
on its side and look into the drive hole. If you do not see two metal pins in the hole, do not use the
rotor in the Avanti JXN series. Call your local Beckman Coulter office* for information on returning
the rotor to the factory for upgrading.

Zonal Bracket Kits
A special bracket and mounting hardware are required when the JCF-Z Continuous Flow/Zonal
Rotor is used. These parts are contained in the Zonal Bracket Kit. The Zonal Bracket Kit includes a
bracket, mounting hardware, and assembly instructions. This kit is for use with Cole-Parmer tubing
size 16 (6.4 mm [1/4-in.] O.D.), the tubing size most commonly used with the JCF-Z rotor.
Two additional kits are available, one which contains adapters for size 14 tubing (4.8 mm [3/16-in.]
O.D.) and one which contains adapters for size 15 tubing (9.6 mm [3/8-in.] O.D.). If you wish to
use either of these sizes of tubing, you will need to purchase one of these kits in addition to the
basic kit.

Temperature Calibration Procedure
Introduction
The Avanti JXN series centrifuge specification for temperature control is ± 2°C. The following
procedure is provided for those cases in which temperature control within ± 1°C is required.
In this procedure, you will measure the temperature of your sample after equilibrating the rotor
temperature for a minimum of 1 hour. Based on the test results, you can then adjust the centrifuge
temperature setting to bring your sample as close as possible to the required temperature.
Calibrating Temperature
1
For runs at other than ambient temperature, precool or prewarm the rotor and test samples
to the required temperature.
The length of precooling/prewarming time depends on how different the rotor starting
temperature is from the required run temperature.
2
3
Install the rotor with adapters, if applicable, and tubes or bottles filled with sample buffer or
water (if above 2°C).
Set the speed to 2000 RPM, the time to HOLD, and the temperature to the required run
temperature.
a. Start the run.
4
After 30 minutes, set the required run speed, and allow the system to run for at least 1 hour.
NOTE The system must run for at least 1 hour before the temperature of the buffer or water is
measured. The length of time required for equilibration depends on the rotor and centrifuge starting
temperatures and the ambient room temperature.

After at least 1 hour, measure the temperature of the buffer or water using a thermometer or
thermocouple.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom
to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
D-2
PN B38322AB
Third Party Contributions and Legal Notices
Contributions and Legal Notices
guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for
most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can
apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses
are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and
charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can
change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these
things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to
surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass
on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too,
receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the
software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
modify it.
For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for
this free software. For both users’ and authors’ sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be
marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous
versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software
inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim
of protecting users’ freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs
in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.
Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If
such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to
those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow
patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those
that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it
effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the
program non-free.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as
semiconductor masks.
PN B38322AB
D-3
D
Third Party Contributions and Legal Notices
Contributions and Legal Notices
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is
addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring
copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a
“modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you
directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it
on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or
without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive
copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
conveying.
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a
convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and
(2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are
provided), that licensees may covey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this
License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent
item in the list meets this criteria.
1. Source Code
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
“Object code” means any non-source form of a work.
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized
standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one
that is widely used among developers working in that language.
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole,
that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of
the Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or
to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source
code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel,
window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work
runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to
generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work,
including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work’s System
Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified
in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding
Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source
code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed
to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms
and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from
other parts of the Corresponding Source.

The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
2. Basic Permissions
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are
irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by
this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This license
acknowledges yours rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run, and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so
long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the
sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities
for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that
prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with
you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below.
Sublicensing is not allowed, section 10 makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable
law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December
1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
When your convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of
technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this
License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your or third parties’
legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium,
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in
accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and
give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or
warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program,
in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
• a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant
date.
• b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any
conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
“keep intact all notices”.
• c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into
possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7

additional terms, to the whole of the work and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged.
This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate
such permission if you have separately received it.
• d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices;
however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal
Notices, your work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their
nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger
program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the
compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the
compilation’s users beyond which the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an
aggregate does not cause the License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided
that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this LIcense,
in one of these ways:
• a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical
distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange.
• b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical
distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid
for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone
who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software
in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used
for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically
performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a
network server at no charge.
• c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the
Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received the object code with such an offer in accord with subsection 6b.
• d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge),
and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same
place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source
along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the
Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that
supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the
object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed
to satisfy these requirements.
• E) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers
where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general
public at no charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding
Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.

A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property
which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold
for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a
particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of product,
regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually
uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of
whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses
represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys,
or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that
User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to
ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or
interfered with solely because modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User
Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use
of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of
how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under the section must
be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you
nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for
example, the work has been installed in ROM). The requirement to provide Installation Information
does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a
work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has
been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself
materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for
communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section
must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with the implementation available to the
public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or
copying.
7. Additional Terms.
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this license by making exceptions
from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program
shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under
applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used
separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License
without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional
permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to
require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work. ) You may place additional
permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give,
appropriate copyright permission.
PN B38322AB

Third Party Contributions and Legal Notices
Contributions and Legal Notices
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you
may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License
with terms:
• a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of
this License; or
• b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attribution in that
material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
• c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified
versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version;
or
• d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
• e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or
service marks; or
• f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys
the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the
recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those
licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning
of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
governed by the License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.
If a license document contain s a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document,
provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant
source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written
license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License.
any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of
section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright
holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the
violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the
copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you
have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you
cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have
received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not
D-8
PN B38322AB
Third Party Contributions and Legal Notices
Contributions and Legal Notices
permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under
section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
Your are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program.
Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer
transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than
this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe
copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work,
you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all
assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the
work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party’s predecessor in interest had or could
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the
work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under
this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or
counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling,
offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a
work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor’s “contributor
version”.
A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the
contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some
manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not
include claims that world be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the
contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent
sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of the License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the
contributor’s essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run,
modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment,
however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent
or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means
to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source
of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License,
through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either
(1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the
benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the
PN B38322AB
D-9
D
Third Party Contributions and Legal Notices
Contributions and Legal Notices
requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly
relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your recipient’s use of the covered work in a country, would infringe
one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction arrangement, you convey, or propagate by
procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of
the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of
the covered work and works based on it.
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits
the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an
arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you
make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and
under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from
you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by
you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific
products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this license shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other
defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict
the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License
and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For
example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from
those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any
covered work with a work license under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a
single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to
apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General
Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination
as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public
License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain
numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have
the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later
version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.
D-10
PN B38322AB
Third Party Contributions and Legal Notices
Contributions and Legal Notices
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public
License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional
obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM
TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal
effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely
approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a
warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

Beckman Coulter, Inc.
Avanti JXN Series Centrifuge Warranty
Subject to the exceptions and upon the conditions specified below Beckman Coulter, Inc. agrees to
correct either by repair, or, at its election, by replacement, any defects of material or workmanship
which develop within one (1) year (3 years for the drive motor) after delivery of the Avanti JXN
Series Centrifuge (the product), to the original buyer by Beckman Coulter or by an authorized
representative, provided that investigation and factory inspection by Beckman Coulter discloses
that such defect developed under normal and proper use.

long as one (1) year. If any such component or accessory fails to give reasonable service for a
reasonable period of time, Beckman Coulter will repair or, at its election, replace such component
or accessory. What constitutes either reasonable service and a reasonable period of time shall be
determined solely by Beckman Coulter.
Replacement
Any product claimed to be defective must, if requested by Beckman Coulter, be returned to the
factory, transportation charges prepaid, and will be returned to Buyer with the transportation
charges collect unless the product is found to be defective, in which case Beckman Coulter will pay
all transportation charges.
Beckman Coulter makes no warranty concerning products or accessories not manufactured by it.
In the event of failure of any such product or accessory, Beckman Coulter will give reasonable
assistance to the Buyer in obtaining from the respective manufacturer whatever adjustment is
reasonable in light of the manufacturer’s own warranty.
Conditions
Beckman Coulter shall be released from all obligations under all warranties, either expressed or
implied, if the product covered hereby is repaired or modified by persons other than its own
authorized service personnel, unless such repair by others is made with the written consent of

such modifications is merely the installation of a new Beckman Coulter plug-in component for such
product.

FITNESS AND OF THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THAT BECKMAN COULTER, INC.
SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
